Maine
Richard takes my hand as he assists me out of the vehicle. We arrived at the hotel where the charity dinner is being held, ten minutes after the event started, so I guess it's safe to say we are just fashionably late. I fix the front of the Dolce & Gabbana Black Dropped Sleeve Fit and Flare Gown which I partnered with Christian Louboutin's Madame Menule patent leather in black, and hold on to my fiancé's arms.
"You know," he stopped and looked at me, "I don't know if I still want to go inside." Richard whispered.
We entered the hotel and I noticed that a few guests and people loitering around the lobby, stopped to look at us. My fiancée is really famous, and so dapper in his black Armani Tuxedo.
"Huh? Why?" I asked, fixing his bowtie.
"Because I can't help but think of what you are wearing underneath this very beautiful gown. Which makes you super sexy, by the way." He tells me, his voice raspy.
"Hon!" I shrieked, slapping him lightly on his chest, my face turning crimson.
"Alden! Alden! Dito kayo tumingin!" I heard someone yelling, interrupting us, and then chaos followed.
Only then I realized, that we are on the red carpet.
Okay, I did not expect this.
I tightened my grip on to Richard's arms and put on my best smile.
"You okay hon?" Richard asked.
"You didn't tell me that a red carpet is involved." I replied, smiling at the cameras. Richard pulled me tighter against him and leaned his cheek on my forehead. I am quite as tall as him now since I am wearing a five-inch stilettos.
"Sorry, I forgot. I am so used to this, I am just not thinking. Are you mad?" He asked, I see worry on his face.
"Nope, I am just glad that I dressed up."
"Are you kidding? When we go in, you are going to be the most beautiful and high-fashioned dressed woman inside that hall, I am sure of that." He said proudly, giving my lips a tender light kiss.
"Alright, if you say so. And besides I need to get used to this anyway, so I might as well start early."
"Do you want me to hold your bag?"
"Oh no, the clutch is part of my outfit." I winked at him, as I place my hand that is holding my black Louboutin So Kate clutch in front of me.
"Alright, just smile for the camera then." He instructed.
"Alden! Alden! Dito naman kayo tumingin!" One media person shouted.
"Ms. Maine! I am from Cosmopolitan Philippines. Who are wearing?" Another one shouted.
I look at Richard not really knowing if I should answer or not. He smiled and nodded.
"You can answer them, only if you want to."
I smiled at him, and changed my posture, so the reporter can see the dress and shoes.
